Activision var klar over den stigende interesse for spil baseret på anden verdenskrig, og insisterede på at Sledgehammer Games skulle bringe Call of Duty-serien tilbage til seriens rødder.
Udvikleren var dog ikke helt enig med Activision, for de ville hellere lave en fortsættelse til Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg har afsløret dette under et nyligt interview:
<i>"We knew they would become historians, that they would tackle it with authenticity, give it tremendous care and we also knew they would capture the unspeakable scale of World War 2."
"What I love about this game is that anyone's who's looking forward to going back to the roots, the gritty, human-scale, boots-on-the-ground, militaristic, authentic experience that Call Of Duty is known for, this game delivers it in a big way."
Er du glad for at se Call of Duty: WWII vende tilbage til anden verdenskrig, eller havde du ønsket en fortsættelse til Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare?
